Whispering Winds

As the wind blows through the trees, leaves start falling, and a cold feeling comes over you. It is like the wind is whispering to you.

Things have been a little hectic here. Thus this is me having a little fun with BiaB.

BiaB style = Awaken1 - Slow, Mystic New Age, tempo = 50 BPM

All tracks had Presonus Pro EQ
Bass = Kontakt-Amadeus -Bass
I wrote a Cello track based on the Bass track = Kontakt-Amadeus -Cellos
Piano = Synthmaster -Dusty Pad Preset
Guitar = Synthmaster One-Light Years Preset
Strings = Kontakt-Mark Tree (chimes)

I am playing the guitar - effects = Vocal Rider-EZ2 mix Ambient preset-TR5 Tape Echo

Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Mario,
beautiful & serene tune. Chimes work very well, but at times they would come a little too strong. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Nice work..... I love the melancholy feel to the start with the minor chords then the change to major.

To me the fall is always kind of sad. Not only are the trees dropping leaves and things are dying or hibernating, also the year is about to end. But that is all a prelude to the new awakening in the spring that follows winter.

You nailed that feeling between the minor to Maj and back again and on and on like the seasons themselves.

Yep... nice reflective piece.

Thanx so much. We had a green Christmas and in fact are running 15-20°F (-6 to -9°C) above normal here.

You've really captured what you set out to achieve here, Mario.

Haunting, and I like the tape echo, as though there's an answer to the call.

Wow - this is a favourite of mine for sure now smile It really sets a mood, and I love the ambient, chilled out vibe on this. Really easy to follow and simultaneously peaceful and melancholic.

Great work - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Mario I just love this tune. Love the backtrack and the guitar just floats above it. Very cool tone and the effects were perfect. Well done

A mellow soundscape Mario.I like the guitar tone and those tinkling shimmers falling around the backdrop.
Cool and relaxing music.

Dani, the only thing that I am king of is my castle, and that is only when the wife is out wink
